We have had several Outdoor Revolution free-standing awnings (don't ask!) and all have been very good quality and withstood very windy weather. We used our OR XL at the Stratford Show recently and once we'd got it nice and secure (important with all of this type of awning), it stayed up in the very strong wind without any problems at all, the only problem we had was fixing it well enough to our MH as ours is quite low compared to some so we found the 'tunnel' part flopped around so we ended up having to mess around trying to gather the material to stop it flapping around. However, we've now changed to an OR Square which is shorter so fits our MH better (we had one previously but an older model). So, so long as you ensure that you get the guy lines etc nice and tight and use the storm straps, it should be as good, if not better, than any other similar awning on the market.

We'll be putting ours up at the Western Show if you want to have a nosey.

Hi , We had similar awning, Kampa travel pod, great awning but a little difficult for 2 peeps to put up, so just sold it . But it was fine while it was up lots of room we could attach to roll out awning or it came with enough tunnel between van and pod so that you could just throw over the van ( it came with extra guy ropes ) this elliminated having to thred through awning rail.

We have had one for three years or so and the poles seem to be the weak point. Ours is bound with gaffa tape. We often leave the tunnel section wrapped up to stop the flapping. They supply a spare pole section but I haven't got round to fitting it.
Would I buy another? Well the price is right and I suppose you get what you pay for.
